Artificial intelligence (AI) layer-based process extraction for robotic process automation (RPA) is disclosed. Data collected by RPA robots and/or other sources may be analyzed to identify patterns that can be used to suggest or automatically generate RPA workflows. These AI layers may be used to recognize patterns of user or business system processes contained therein. Each AI layer may “sense” different characteristics in the data and be used individually or in concert with other AI layers to suggest RPA workflows.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the data collected by the listeners comprises user interactions with respective user computing systems, audio, video, light, heat, motion, acceleration, radiation, or any combination thereof.
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the multiple AI layers comprise a sequence extraction layer, a clustering detection later, a visual component detection layer, a text recognition layer, an audio-to-text translation layer, or any combination thereof.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein each individual AI layer has an associated modifier based on an estimated accuracy of the respective individual AI layer.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein an RPA workflow is only generated when a collective confidence threshold for all AI layers has been exceeded.
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the multiple AI layers are configured to perform statistical modeling and utilize deep learning techniques to identify the one or more RPA processes in the collected that exceed a confidence threshold.
8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7, wherein similarity between the existing process and the identified RPA process is determined by entropy, minimization of a process detection objective function, or a combination thereof.
9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the collected data is run through the multiple AI layers in series.
10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the collected data is run through the multiple AI layers in parallel.
11. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the collected data is fed through a combination of both series and parallel AI layers.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14, wherein similarity between the existing process and the identified RPA process is determined by entropy, minimization of a process detection objective function, or a combination thereof.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 12, wherein the data collected by the plurality of listeners comprises user interactions with respective user computing systems, audio, video, light, heat, motion, acceleration, radiation, or any combination thereof.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 12, wherein the collected data is run through the multiple AI layers in series or the collected data is run through the multiple AI layers in parallel.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 12, wherein the collected data is fed through a combination of both series and parallel AI layers.
